The combination of idiot on jet ski vs. ‘normal’ boater turned lethal Sunday, killing a\u00a0 U.S. Air Force Preparatory School student home in Ft. Worth, TX on leave.<\/p>\n
Ava Moore, 18, was killed when a watercraft with two female occupants struck her as she was kayaking on Grapevine Lake on the evening of Sunday, May 25, Texas Game Wardens said in a news release shared on Facebook.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
One of the two jet-skiers stuck around to talk to police. The driver of the jet ski allegedly fled.<\/p>\n
\n
A female passenger remained to speak with first responders, while the operator of the jet ski allegedly fled the scene in a car with an adult man. The pair then struck a vehicle as they were leaving the area, per the news release.\u00a0The Grapevine Police Department is investigating the automotive incident.<\/p>\n
The suspect and the man allegedly abandoned the car at the Cobblestone apartments at Ruth Wall and Turner Road, local outlet WFAA reported. Meanwhile, Moore was pulled from the water by witnesses and died after being rushed to the hospital.<\/p>\n
Lisa Scrabeck, a witness who helped to provide aid, told CBS News Texas that Moore had been wearing a life jacket, which was removed before CPR began.<\/p>\n
“She didn’t suffer in agony,” Scrabeck said of Moore, per CBS News Texas. “It’s very tragic, and I extend my deepest condolences to the family. I can’t imagine being the parents of this young girl. But one thing I can say is that she didn’t suffer from the moment I saw her.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Unusually, authorities have released a picture of the woman they are seeking:<\/p>\nHit and run jet ski suspect<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
They should have her name from the co-rider… one hopes she is arrested quickly. After leaving her victim to drown and fleeing the scene – hopefully she will find out soon that orange goes well with – nobody.<\/p>\n

Moore had \u201cjust returned from Colorado Springs after finishing her 1st year at the Air Force Preparatory School,\u201d according to a GoFundMe page. She had previously been an \u201coutstanding student and athlete\u201d at Timber Creek High School.<\/p>\n
